Jeremiah Ferguson, 22, and Kelsey LeClaire, 21, were killed in Tuesday's crash south of Plattsmouth. According to a report released by the Sheriff's Department, the vehicle was westbound on Young Road and went through the stop sign, striking an embankment which caused the vehicle to vault over the fence and into a bean field west of Highway 75. The vehicle landed on its top. Authorities didn't find the wreckage until about 11 hours later.

The Cass County Sheriff's Office believes Ferguson was speeding when the car flipped.

"Jeremiah was the life of the party," Ferguson's oldest brother, Aaron Roberts, said. "No matter what, he had a bad day, and you had a bad day, he makes sure you smiled.

"We're doing OK, we're getting by. I mean, it's always tough when you lose a loved one, but with the support from our family and friends and our neighborhood, it's been great to get through this with them."

More than 100 people gathered Thursday at Bryan High School, wearing Nebraska shirts for Ferguson. Family said if Nebraska football was on the field, Ferguson was watching and cheering with his dog by his side.

Family, friends and former classmates gathered at Lewis Central to mourn LeClaire.

"She wanted to do everything and be successful," LeClaire's brother, Jeff McQuinn said. "She was getting ready to move to North Carolina. Start a new path, and she was that kind of person. She was not just going to wait around, she was going to do it. The last thing she said was, 'Love you,' and unfortunately, that was the last time I got to talk to her."

"Out of the blue, she would text us for no reason, and we'd be in a big group text, just going back-and-forth," LeClaire's brother, Doug McQuinn said.
